Karnataka Government to select achievers for Rajyotsava awards: Minister
The Hindu
A committee will be set up four months before the scheduled date of announcement of winners, and it will be tasked with finding achievers
Taking a cue from the Central Government with respect to Padma awards, the Karnataka Government too will select achievers from different walks of life for the Rajyotsava awards from 2023, said Energy and Kannada & Culture Minister V. Sunil Kumar in Mangaluru on February 5.
“We will skip the process of calling applications for Rajyotsava awards. The government will select achievers and bestow them with the award. There will be no question of influencing the government to give the awards to select persons.”
